Research Timepiece, Staffs, sand globes

I am Feeling happy with my chosen idea that is a time staff, I have found some reference imagery that I quite like and that is close to my idea.

 (I remember playing this game "Prince of Persia sand of time" awhile back, The sand of time dagger that the character uses in the game is a similar concept to the staff idea that I have.
